Chapter 2Programming for the Java 2 Platform,
Enterprise Edition
The Java™ 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE™) is an architecture for a Java
development platform for distributed enterprise applications. It was developed by Sun
Microsystems, with input from the development community, including Borland. J2EE
platform products, such as the Borland Enterprise Server, offer the developer the
capability of building applications with these benefits:
■
Reliability and scalability, so business transactions are processed quickly and
accurately.
■
Excellent security to protect users’ privacy and the integrity of the enterprise’s data.
■
Ready availability, to meet the increasing demands of the global business
environment.
JBuilder is a Java integrated development environment that, when coupled with a
supported application server from companies such as Borland, BEA, and IBM greatly
simplifies and speeds the development of J2EE applications.
Why are J2EE applications desirable?
In the early 1990s, information systems frequently used a client-server architecture.
The user interface to the application usually ran on a desktop computer. This was the
client tier. The enterprise data being accessed by the client resided in a database and
